But I do know that it’s my choice to have a conversation without unnecessary drama. Hence, I choose to have a room with a password. Those who know me and know the thoughts I’ve shared know that I don’t want to broadcast what I’m feeling or have to offer an explanation to someone that doesn’t know me.

It’s everyone’s personal choice to enter any room or create their own and set the boundaries for that room. And using a password is the choice I make.

I welcome comments on this subject.
I wholeheartedly agree! It doesn't even require an explanation nor apology, imo. Sometimes a private conversation just means one that others who just bounce from room toroom looking for someone don't get to interrupt. Sometimes a private chat is as much for the uninvolved member as the participants. It is quite boring for many to come into the middle of a chat about some metaphysical Aspect, or mathematical equation.

I also wish more members would take themselves off to private chat instead of dominating a public one. And especially when they want to do that in the lobby where no chat should be. ( once again a lobby chat upset someone who was just entering the chat room area. ). Drama we will have with us always...it just always seems to go along with enjoying bouncing up against the guidelines.
